Sure, you can add me. I'm curious to see what you make 😊

Nope, go for it. I just enabled GitHub Pages, so it has the default website now at deadlydog.github.io/PowerShell.t.... If you want to do something fancy though, just submit a PR for the `gh-pages` branch 🙂

Good to know. I've never used a 4k monitor but have been debating switching. My setup for the past ~6 years is my laptop (primary) + 3 1080p monitors (pic). I've been considering 2x4k monitors side-by-side, or just 3x1080p horizontal monitors. Would need to purchase new arms to hold 3 horizontal tho

Set up a Dev Drive on Windows 11 Learn about the new Dev Drive storage available to improve file system performance for development scenarios using the ReFS volume format, including how to set it up, designate trust to use performance mode for Microsoft Defender Antivirus, customized filters, and FAQs.

Thankfully I always try to commit and push code up before closing my IDE, so I'm fairly certain I didn't lose any work. Just had to spend an hour re-cloning ~75 repos to my machine.

Was in too much shock to post this yesterday. I was demoing how to setup a Dev Drive for ~25% perf improvement, & while cleaning it up at the end of the demo I accidentally deleted my real Dev Drive instead of the dummy one I created for the demo. All local code gone! How's your day going? 😅

Time to hunt of Shining Force! Great game (although SF 2 for Sega Genesis is even better)

I'm not trolling for engagement. Just trying to gauge if it's worth my time to write a blog post about it. Comments are also welcome 😊

I use #Jekyll (static site generator) and #GitHub Pages to host my blog for free. I figured out how to host PR previews with their own public URL for free on GitHub Pages (no 3rd party host needed), so I can preview what the PR site would look like. Give a 💖 if you'd like a blog of how I did this

Brilliant idea!

When's the last time you decommissioned an application? Did you miss anything?

Is there any parent that hasn’t tried this? 🤣

Yup, it was great. A lot of long days tho. I’m ready to go home and recharge. Thanks for sharing your story with us 🙂

Darn it. I saw you around Harm, but had no idea you were PowerShell Is Fun! I guess that’s the problem with social pseudo-names 😛 I love reading your blogs. I definitely would have said hi in person. Hopefully we’ll both be back next year and I can say hi properly then

If you work in #VisualStudio you'll want to check out these awesome extensions by the one-and-only @madskristensen.net

My #PowerShell Runtime Containers for #docker and #podman have been updated to include the newly released 7.6.0, as well as every supported version since 7.4, in noble-distroless and azurelinux-distroless flavors. Check them out!

Thank you. We (the community) appreciate you!

Dan relaxing in the sunshine

Had a great week of learning at #MVPSummit. Chatted with old friends and made some new ones. Already looking forward to doing it again next year. Now taking a break in the sunshine (finally got sun on the last day!) before playing with the new shiny stuff later.

Deleted Extension Names Are No Longer Reusable · microsoft vsmarketplace · Discussion #1708 We’re updating the Visual Studio Marketplace policy regarding extension names. Effective mid-March, extension names that have been deleted will not be available for reuse, including by the original...

⚠️ If you maintain Azure DevOps extensions, be careful with the unpublish/delete function.

Once deleted, you cannot republish extensions anymore.

I use underscores instead of asterisks, but seem to be in the minority. I just find it makes the text easier to read and feel less cluttered.

With the age of AI on the cusp, knowing markdown is critical.

Booo, Air Canada cancelled my connecting flight while I was mid-flight, so now I have an 11 hour layover and will miss the entire #MVPSummit pre-day 😞

Still looking forward so connecting with other MVPs the rest of the week tho
